Once again, forgot I made this page. I don’t want to just repost Dim Shores stuff so here is unique content. Look how Chiroptera Press packaged my order. Outer box, inner box, packing peanuts, large bubble wrap around the books, and finally shrinkwrap on each book. Absolutely outstanding.
A brown corrugated cardboard box sits snugly inside a slightly larger brown corrugated cardboard box. Inside the inner box is a parcel (books!) wrapped in large bubble wrap, and surrounding that a bunch of biodegradable packing peanuts. A small but chonky black and white cat, Minx, stands behind the box, looking at it with interest. Behind Minx a small part of a brown paper grocery bag from Raley’s can be seen, with small bite marks in it from Minx’s small teeth.

#Sacramento turned out for #nokings. Saw a few signs saying "The only Kings we want are on the basketball court" and lots of other clever and funny messages. Many signs were related to #ICE raids, and I saw a few for #Palestine too. Just like Sac itself, lots of people of all ages and colors. ✊

Book reviewers, get on it. I haven’t read it yet but it is S.P. Miskowski, that should be all you need to hear.

IF YOU KNEW ME is available to NetGalley members, and it could use more ratings and reviews at NetGalley and Goodreads. Also available to pre-order almost anywhere. It's a psychological thriller about obsession and identity. (I have reason to believe the audiobook edition is going to be awesome.)

This is our cat family (L-R): Ripley, Sia, and Minx. Ripley and Sia are good girls, Minx is a reincarnated chaos demon. #Blueskycats
Three cats by a closed screen door. Ripley (black and white tripod cow cat) appears to be napping on an insect-patterned rug near the door with one paw resting on the sliding door track. Sia (brown and black tabby cat) sits attentively with her tail wrapped around her legs, looking at something in the backyard. Minx (black and white Manx cat) lays on the bottom level of a small beige cat tree with her forelegs crossed, looking at whatever it is that has Sia's attention (probably a bird).
